"I wake up shedding tears for you," Janine Guido, founder of the rescue, wrote on Facebook days after Libre's rescue. "I catch myself dreaming of you running around someday. With a wagging tail. With a smile on your face. And with a light in your eyes."

Yesterday, she took him home from Dillsburg, having officially adopted the rescued puppy into her family. Guido currently owns seven dogs, in addition to a few fosters - making Libre the latest to join an already extensive family.

"Today was the day I was finally able to bring Libre home with me," Guido wrote on Speranza's Facebook page in a note thanking the lead veterinarian who took care of Libre. "I wish I could put into words how happy that made me feel."
